Maggie and OA left the warehouse and made their way back to the office, she had text Jubal the address of the fast food joint and the time that was on the receipt so that they could look in to it. While on their way back they got word that Sean Ellis had died in hospital. Jubal got the analysts to work fast as they really needed to find Jake Osbourne soon, Kristen tracks down footage from the burger joint and they find that Sean Ellis got in to a car that wasn't his and that someone was in the car with him. Jubal thinks that his girlfriend might know who it is, Kristen meets Maggie and OA as they step off the elevator and she fills them in while they walk towards interrogation where Gina Ramos is waiting for them.

Maggie had been hoping to get a minute with Jubal to tell him about the phone call from Isobel and to find out what was going on with her and this case but that was going to have to wait as they had to talk to Gina Ramos. Gina tells them that Sean was part of a drug gang and he got sent to prison for protecting their money and dope, but that when he got out they came to see him and told him that he owed them money. She tells them that he always made sure that she was never at home when they would come see him so she couldn't identify any of them but the car that was at the burger joint had been parked outside their apartment last week, she had come early. Sean had told her that they had threatened both him and her if he didn't get their money back.

Maggie and OA walk back in to the JOC as Jubal is speaking to the team "Okay people we now believe that Sean Ellis accomplice is calling the shots and he wants ransom for Jake which is good because it motivates him to keep Jake alive. Once he realises that Sean is missing he'll know things have gone south and then Jake becomes a liability. Has Dan Osbourne given us any more intel?"

Kelly lifted her head from her computer to look at Jubal "We have agents at the hospital but he's still in surgery"

Jubal nodded "Right okay, so lets focus on the car and who it belongs to. Let's pull street cam footage to see where it went next. Where are we with the drugs gang that Sean ran with?" Jubal stopped by Lee's desk as he stood sipping his coffee looking at Lee's computer

"He never ratted them out, but the gang is called the Easy 8's. The drug branch are sending over everything they have on the gang"

"Go through every known member of the Easy 8's and look for anyone who owns a caddy like the one that Sean Ellis got in to at the burger joint or for who had recent contact with Sean. We need to find out who Sean was working with, the clock is ticking on Jake Osbourne so we have to work fast"

Kristen came walking in to the JOC and straight over to Jubal "Remember you had me look into that Sean Ellis Drug bust?" When Jubal nodded Kristen continued "There's something you need to see"

Jubal took the IPad from Kristen and read what was on the screen and he sat his coffee cup down as he headed straight to Isobel's office and he knocked the door before stepping in to her office and closing the door

Isobel lifted her head when she heard the knock to her door "Jubal, what is it?"

Jubal walked towards her desk resting his hands on his hips a little unsure of what he was about to say "So I….I checked into the case that got Sean sent away, guess he was a bit player, babysitting 80 kilos of coke and a million in cash when Dan Osbourne and his team raided that house. But in Sean's statement he said there was two million in cash, which means"

Before he could finish Isobel was speaking "Which means nothing because there is no corroborating evidence"

"You are sure there isn't?"

Isobel raised her eyebrow looking at Jubal "I looked into the allegations, there is no proof that Dan Osbourne stole a million dollars. There's nothing there"

"Is that why you are reviewing Dan's file" Jubal nodded to the file sitting on Isobel's desk "Because there's nothing there?"

Isobel was not happy with where Jubal was going with this conversation "Excuse me?"

Jubal knew he had to stand his ground here because he believed that he was right "I'm just saying that if Dan took that money Sean would be on the hook for it. It explains why they kidnapped Dan's son and why Dan deleted that text, went rogue and tried to solve this himself. Look Isobel I think Dan stole that cash it's the only explanation that makes sense"

"Jubal I get it trust me but I cannot accuse a decorated agent without any real proof"

"You can't or you don't want to?" Jubal knew he was really pushing here but he felt he had to

That was the final straw for Isobel who now raised her voice while speaking "Get out of my office"

Maggie had gone to the break room to get some coffee before going through the case files from the drug branch on the Easy 8's, she happened to be walking past Isobel's office when she heard her boss telling someone to get out of her office. Maggie was surprised when she seen Jubal coming walking out of Isobel's office

"Jubal… Is everything okay?"

Jubal was surprised to see Maggie standing there and she had clearly heard Isobel telling him to get out "You got a few minutes to go somewhere and talk?"

Maggie could see that something was clearly bothering Jubal and he had obviously gotten on the wrong side of their boss "Yeah of course, where do you want to go?"

"Follow me" Jubal looked stressed as he made his way to the exit door that lead them up to the roof, he knew not many people went up there so it was a very private place for him and Maggie to talk. He was thankful that he had almost walked in to Maggie when he left Isobel's office as he really needed to clear his head and he knew talking to Maggie would do that. He stepped out on to the roof and he closed his eyes taking a deep breath.

Maggie followed Jubal in silence, she was giving him some time to gather his thoughts in his mind as she could tell there was a lot going on she just didn't know what it was. She closed the door behind her when she stepped out on to the roof and she stood sipping her coffee giving him a minute to himself to enjoy the fresh air. She knew that he would talk to her when he was ready.

Jubal stood with his eyes closed for a few seconds just enjoying the little bit of sun on his face trying to slow down his thoughts before he finally opened his eyes and sat against the small wall turning to face Maggie "So how much of my conversation did you hear with Isobel?"

Maggie came over to the wall and sat against it beside Jubal as she turned her head to look at him "I didn't even know it was you in there, I just heard Isobel telling someone to get out, I was surprised to see you coming walking out of there"

Jubal sighed "I pushed too far but I also don't regret it because I think I'm right on this, her snapping at me makes me think that she knows I'm right"

Maggie stood up and she moved to stand in front of Jubal who instantly moved his legs gently pulling her between his legs. She sat her coffee mug down beside him and wrapped her arms around his neck letting her thumb brush his hairline "You don't push unless you have reason to honey, but what the hell is going on with this case and Isobel? She rang me when we were at the warehouse to check what was happening"

Jubal was so thankful when Maggie moved to stand in front of him as it gave him the excuse to pull her closer to him, he rested his hands on her hips as he enjoyed getting to hold her a little closer now "She rang you? She shouldn't have been doing that behind my back, she never mentioned that to me."

"I didn't have a chance to tell you, I was planning to as soon as we got back but we had to question Gina. OA found it as strange as I did, we have all noticed that Isobel has been invested more than usual in this case"

"You don't have to apologise Mags, Isobel should have told me that, so thank you for telling me. Isobel was once Dan's ASAC, said she became friends with him and his wife, she knows Jake personally, so the case is personal to her."

Maggie kept brushing her thumbs along Jubal's hairline as she listened to him "Hmm well you know how close an ASAC can get to their agents" Maggie smirked playfully and was thankful that it had the desired affect as Jubal chuckled softly

"Yeah I don't think they got as close as you and I are since he's married and I didn't ask" Jubal shook his head laughing softly as he ran his hands along Maggie's back slowly "But Isobel is letting her personal feelings get in the way of this case, she asked me to be honest with her about everything no matter what we found but then loses it when I point it out to her"

"Point what out to her honey?" Maggie seen the stress again on Jubal's face and knew that this was clearly what was causing him the most issues, she wanted to carefully push him to tell her as she wanted to be able to try and help him. She moved one of her hands running it along his arm slowly

He knows that a lot of people might find it strange that they could be standing so wrapped up in each other and still be talking about work but it was actually helping Jubal relax and he knew that he could really trust Maggie "The case that Dan arrested Sean on, in the report it says they found one million cash but Sean Ellis always claimed that there was two million cash"

"And you think that Dan took it? Well that would explain why Sean took Jake he wants the million back from Dan so that he can give it back to Easy 8's"

"That's exactly what I said to Isobel, but she said that there was no proof that Dan had taken the money. But it's the only thing that makes sense, why else would Sean Ellis take Jake"

"And you accused Isobel of not wanting to look because of her relationship with Dan?" Maggie felt like she knew Jubal well enough now to figure out that was the reason that Isobel had shouted at him to get out of her office

"Yeah I kinda done that. But I mean can you really blame me?" Jubal looked up at the brown eyes looking back at him, he did feel like a weight had been lifted now that he had told Maggie what had happened

Maggie shook her head as she moved her hand on his arm to his cheek gently "Jubal I think that anyone in your situation would have said that, I mean we could not figure out why Sean had taken Jake it just didn't make sense, but now it does. Isobel needs to look past her friendship with Dan and do what is right here"

"I may have pushed too hard but I don't regret pushing, Isobel would have done the same if it was me, she probably would have taken me off the case before now if it were me in her situation. But I'm not going to let it get in the way of us finding Jake" Jubal leaned in to Maggie's hand on his cheek before turning his head to kiss the palm of her hand

Maggie stepped in as close to Jubal as possible as she moved her other hand to his other cheek so that she was now cupping his face in her hands "You did nothing wrong, you were doing your job and you are doing it all to try and return a kid to his parents. Isobel will see that in time, right now she just wants to protect her friends reputation"

Jubal couldn't resist running his hand under Maggie's shirt as it was hanging lose and he let his thumb brush along the skin of her hip and he couldn't help the smile that appeared when he seen her closing her eyes at his touch "Thank you honey, for coming up here with me, talking to me and calming me down. I feel like my head is much clearer now"

Maggie was surprised when she felt Jubal's thumb brush the skin on her hip but she leaned in to the touch instantly enjoying it, she leaned down softly pressing her lips to his and smiled against his lips when he pulled her as close to him as possible. When they broke the kiss she let her forehead rest against his lightly as she spoke "You don't have to thank me Jubal, I have missed being able to get even a brief moment alone with you. This case has been moving so fast that I feel like I haven't had proper time with you in days, so trust me I was happy to come up here with you and I'm just glad that you seem more relaxed now"

Jubal was pressing small kisses to Maggie's lips when he could, she was right they had been consumed with this case since it was a teenage kid missing and it really felt like it had been so long from he had got to even just hold her. "I'm glad that you have missed our time as much as I have. I thought that I was maybe the only one that was missing our alone time"

Maggie shook her head making their noses brush against each other as they were still so close, she ran her thumbs along his cheeks gently "Trust me I've missed this, I've missed you and us..But once we get Jake home safely we will have time just the two of us" Maggie kissed Jubal again slowly and softly to begin with before deepening the kiss a little before reluctantly pulling back "You ready to go back and bring Jake home?"

Jubal took a minute to just enjoy getting to see Maggie unguarded and smiling so softly at him and he gently squeezed her hip nodding as he stood up "Yeah let's go and bring this kid home"

Maggie lifted her coffee mug and she smiled when Jubal wrapped his arms around her waist from behind as they walked towards the door and he was placing small kisses to her neck "You know you are making it harder for us to keep our hands off each other when we get back in to the JOC" she smirked playfully

Jubal laughed softly keeping his arms around Maggie's waist "Hmm maybe….I'm just enjoying every last second before I have to let go"

Maggie shook her head laughing and turned her head kissing his temple she really did love getting to see this side of Jubal.
